If so, please tell me who you think were the "winners" and "losers" of the book?

Or who won the struggle and who lost the struggle?

I need to know the theme to "The Enchanted Doll" by Paul Gallico.
I'm stuck... and I don't get how you're supposed to figure it out.

The prompt is:

Discuss the literary elements and/or the type of persuasion Steinbeck uses to fulfill his rhetorical purpose in chapter 19 of The Grapes of Wrath.

My thesis is:

In chapter 19, Steinbeck uses devices such as imagery and details to convey a rhetorical message of dehuminization by portraying immgrants as objects, and the discrimination they face from wealthy landowners.

Help? =]

....a market for adult fairytales, i have an idea for a fantasy novel based around celtic mythology but set in a modern times, it begins with a young girl who is taken on a field trip with her school friends, she stubbornly ventures into a fairy fort, when told not to, she then stumbles across real-life fairies. The story cuts to present time, and she starts to remember what she saw at the time, although she cant be sure if it really happened or was just her over active imagination..anyway, weird occurances start to take place, and eventually,havent quiet figured out yet, shes transported to the "otherworld" well known in celtic mythology and weird and wonderful things ensue from there!

Do these type of stories only appeal to kids and teenagers?

I want to write it quite dark, with black humour thrown in etc.

its called The Complete Guidebook on How to Fly I instantly fell in love with the name! its about this 12 year old girl who was chosen by the CIA to be an experiment for them. she accepts the offer, and is flown to a secret military base in Nevada. She is put to sleep for two years, and when she wakes up, she finds she can fly, but is restricted by the scientists. she can only do it while in thier sight. she also finds that she is not the first experiment, there are about five other kids with special powers there, but she was by far the most important. then she learns of the secret of her powers, and the the truth of her future...
i dont want to tell the rest in fear that someone might steal my story so please dont! i worked really hard on this! so do you like the idea of the story? please tell me!

What do you think the theme was? Three quotes from the book for examples on why would be nice.
